Junko Jiirota Posted March 20 Posted March 20 (edited) The scene opens on the busy streets of Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. Through the bright lights and steady traffic, A large tour bus sticks out like a sore thumb making its way down the street. Inside the tour bus, we see the Super Rookie Junko Jiirota sitting feet up on a comfy chair. Staring intensely into her cell phone as it rings.........she ignores the call and continues examining a text message from her godfather Akita. Reading the text message out loud for the 23rd time. Junko: "Hey Junko.........first off I just wanted to say Omedeto. Not only for an amazing first 10 months in OCW but in America as well! I know I was hyper critical of your decision the last couple months. But not only have you captivated the audience, you've shattered my expectat-" NOBODY GIVES A F-.... Junko's outburst scares the tour bus driver causing him to swerve. She looks up embarrassed and apologizes. Taking a deep breath, she continues reading. Junko: "You've shattered my expectations in terms of how quickly you've grasped life over here. I know you're probably rolling your eyes reading this right now......." YOU KNOW ME SO WELL! "I figured that you coming over to America and me no longer having to ref matches full time would've awarded me more time with you. Turns out it was the opposite. I know its probably not a good excuse for you....." Junko scoffs Junko: Not even close old man... "But I really am committed to making this up to you and bringing our family together. I owe that to you both. And it starts here. I know you're in Tokyo for physical therapy. I'm also here scouting new talent for OCW. Haven't really found any promising prospects so I have a bit of free time before the new season start. I have a surprise for you. Meet me at this address friday night. See you soon. Junko growls and slams her phone down on the chair. As angry as she wanted to be at Akita, she couldn't help but be excited to finally get some long sought after father-daughter time. It had been years since they had done so. He was very pivotal in Junko tapping into her physical gifts, pursuing sumo than venturing into professional wrestling. However, Akita was widely renowned in the country for being an elite level trainer in combats sports. He founded one of the most popular training facilities dubbed "Jiirota Fight Team". As the business grew in infamy, his time with wife and two kids shrunk, affecting Junko the most. Eventually Jayson Sensation and OCW came calling giving him an offer he couldn't refuse. With the gym bringing in more than enough money and the coaching staff, Akita was able to retire as a coach and possibly expand to western territory. Him and his wife were able to move to America, leaving their two children in Japan. Her phone rings again...... The tour bus comes to a halt snapping Junko out of her reminiscing episode. She exits the bus in the parking lot of the prestigious Ryogoku Kokukigan Sumo Hall. As she steps foot onto the concrete, much to her surprise, the super rookie is flooded by fans yelling her name. Junko: Hmm...I guess they do watch OCW over here....why in the world did Oyaji bring me here? She reluctantly takes a pictures and sign autographs staring up at the large building she once called home. As she scans stadium walls her eyes fixate on a billboard titled "SAIGO NO INORI". Seemed to be a kickboxing event was being held tonight. In the middle of the billboard there was a a photo of a man facing the opposite direction. Slim but athletic build. Buzz cut hair. And a large tattoo of Buddha on his back. Clearly this person was who everyone came to see. Junko still confused, made her way into the arena. The security guards greeting her almost as if they were expecting her. One of guards offers to escort her through the arena to her seat ringside. With memories of her Sumo days now rushing back like a tidal wave, Junko found herself getting teary eyed As she gets closer to her destination, the sounds of oriental hip hop instrumentals paired with an traditional Japanese instruments grew in octaves mixed in from noise of the crowd ........her phone rings again. As she reached her ringside destination, Junko took to her seat a few rows back from the action, ignoring the attention from the fans and observing the two kickboxers in the ring attacking one another. In the seat beside her, she notices a petite woman smiling at her sweetly. Junko ignores her momentarily still focused in the ring now, double takes realizing who the woman was. Junko: Okasan! Teary eyed but excited Junko wraps her mother Emiko in a joyful bearhug. The two embracing. Junko: But wait, what brings you here? I was gonna call you but Oyaji told me to come to this place. I just cant find him. The bell ring sounds interrupting Junko's interrogation. With a not so innocent smile on her face, Emiko motions her head towards the ring. Junko shifts her focus back to the ring seeing the two combatants. One of the kickboxers makes his way back to his corner in the same direction Junko and Emiko were seated. He stops for a moment, notices the two women and smirks taking a seat in his corner. Junko locks eyes with the man still confused, she questions her mother. Junko: Nani? Whats with that dork? Whys her smiling at us? Why is he toying with his opponent? What the hell is going Okasan?! Emiko still smirking suspiciously Emiko: Surprise Jun-channnnn. Junko continues starring at the man, whos now sitting in the corner focusing on his breathing and instructions from his corner men. Her noticing the large tattoo on his back. She finally deduces that the man on the billboard is the same kickboxer in the ring. She continues analyzing him and finally comes to a shocking realization........ Junko: No way........baby ....bro? Junko then focuses on the two corner men. One of the older men garners her attention more than the other. Her eyes widen after she puts two and two together.....Emiko smiles even harder. Junko: Kudaranai koto! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME !!!!! The tattooed kickboxer hearing the noise, now grinning as the super rookie's voice now booming through the crowd. Finding his sister's anger amusing. The scene ends with Junko finally answering her phone. Realizing who the caller is, her lovely assistant Pom, her anger grows even more. Junko: Very bad timing Pom-u... What do you want?!? Edited March 20 by Junko Jiirota 7
